i understand, really because it does help with pain. I have my days like that as well. My bev of choice is rum and soda of some kind. But yeah, not a fan of being hung over etc.
You have arthritis? This cold weather is no fun for arthritis sufferers Oh, and i am good, my arthritis and pain no but my mood is great lol.

yup when pain is a everyday thing you take what works. I love rum and soda also. Right now I have something way stronger. Hint I love in the south :)

Arthritis is a fear for the future. It's very prevalent in my family that in some of my diagnosis already puts me at risk for it so yay sarcasm...

I have pretty severe scoliosis.So it kinda knocks stuff out of wack so I'm very prone to pulled muscles, muscle spasms in general back pain stimming from the muscles. That and they did me no favors with a few of my surgeries. They kind of hindered more than they helped. I'll live with the ramifications of a stretched spinal cord and the residual damage. Once again sarcastic yay.

I'm sorry to hear that your arthritis is acting up and you're hurting but at least you're in a good mood.

Thank you all for your kind words and understanding. ❤

of course! I am rooting that they are able to pinpoint what is going on for his sake and yours. Cannot even fathom not knowing for a full month. Y'all are in my thoughts. ((hugs))

A month!?! I wish it was only that long... This has been going on for about 4 months now. You would not believe all the tests and scans hubby has endured to even get to this point. And with all that, I still can't believe some of the most renown doctors still don't know what it is. Frustrating to say the least.

oh wow, I'm so sorry for him! I'm sure he's wanted to pull some peoples heads off being poked and the like. Yikes! Bless his soul though for real, I hope they find something or at least have an inkling because four months is a very long time to be suffering and not have an answer. And I thought it had only been a month since you mentioned you were gone that long. Man, I just want to give you a giant hug and tell you it'll all be okay! ((hugs))

Thank you! Hugs are good and much appreciated! Granted, most of the tests we were able to do at home but when they didn't prove fruitful in a diagnosis we were sent to Seattle. This was our second trip there. It was only suppose to be for a week but turned into 3. The most frustrating part is not knowing of course but more than that we need a true diagnosis so treatment can begin. Probably no cure for whatever it is but maybe can arrest it so it doesn't get any worse.

.. Yeah im no newbie to pain myself. Fibromyalgia has been an issue for 20 some years, possibly lifetime. I say that because in childhood i hurt too but we chalked it up to growing pains. Now i wonder.

I also have scoliosis but mildly, still it causes the bones in my neck to pinch a major nerve resulting in devastating migraunes that make me vomit uncontrollably for several hours. I got surgery three years ago to take pressure off that nerve. Now i still get them but more mildly.

Now. My hip is giving me trouble. As i told a friend, my body needs family counseling lolol... Sarcasm xD

Anywho, i just understand how frustrating and desperate it can become... Girl you mean whiskey? Blehhhhh. I still have taste lolol

You're welcome sweetie. I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

nearly done with ASP list! I think I'm going to make it!

and finished! Merry Luminaire all!

I hear fibromyalgia and I kind of cringed. If ever there was something that just makes you want to be mad at the human body that would be it. It absolutely sucks to go that long without a diagnosis though. It's no fun when you're kid and you hurt and nobody really understands the pain levels or the aggravation. I can't tell you how many times I was called a whiny child. That's one of the reasons as adult I barely mention pain levels to most people.

Most people hear scoliosis and kind of downplay it like it's not that bad but what you got to remember even mild scoliosis can have very aggravating complications as seen by your migraines. Being tilted it causes all kinds of issues .

I'm sorry about your hip. I understand the want to sit down and be like okay body you need to chill and be normal for a bit.... I want to call mine a drama queen.

No my friend moonshine :)

I think I'm going to buy myself an Expresso maker as a Christmas gift

No, Cousin, her shark, he bit off a foreleg and now he has a taste for cat...cochon!

Hmm...maybe go for a swim with Gilly?

LOL Not quite the way I saw that ending, but it is Christmas Eve a time for resolving differences and spoiling cats...you knpw, barbequed oysters are a traditional CE meal in some parts of the world

yay I finely got my first one :D

 You found a forum giftbox while posting!

So what's up with them? Very first one.

you too? I was treated that way the whiny child. What hurt is!my mom was sick so everything was about her and she made it that way. It was like a competition of sorts. That her everything was worse than!mine. And sadly has not changed.
Yeah people have no idea about my pain levels and what i tolerate. But ehhhh, i have a few friends that do understand. So i focus on them. Yeah scoliosis is not a nothing but compared to mild or regular, that can also be a big difference. Oohhh moonshine lol. I forgot that esp since i never had it.

lol love your humor

ooo i had a roomy with one, loved it so much! I think i missed that machine more than her when i moved lol. I loved making foamed milk on it. It was big with all the gadgets and goodies.

: my my... I don’t like sharks. I hope you are going to be ok.

Merry Christmas everybody!

You are such a goose!

I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. I don't even know what to say to that. Thats pretty dang awful.... I was treated like i was a attention seekibg whiny brat by like every other member of the family. But I always had my mom she's always been the one to have my back and fight for me I can't even imagine a life without that support.

I find that as soon as you grow up after dealing with that you find and surround yourself with people who understand.

yeah it was tough and yes i choose loving friends now. Wish i had rum atm... No alcohol in house and broke... Moody tonight and i no idea why. But hopefully. I will feel better soon.

it's the damn moon. .

Hey Baby!! I'm almost through my Thank You's to everyone, and whittling my ping list down :D

Was hoping to get to play tomorrow. but just remembered i have a doc appt myself (check my BP) maybe after i get home. i have to admit, this doc. office is really excellent. (hope i keep that opinion)
